How do you know you've crossed the line into sketchy behavior? When you steal money meant to support sick children and their parents. And that's just what Make-A-Wish Iowa's former CEO pleaded guilty to last week Tuesday.
She Stole From Kids Fighting for Their Lives
Jennifer Woodley admitted she embezzled almost $41,000 by making charges on a foundation credit card. She also gave herself a bonus, salary increases (all three unauthorized), and wrote up false records to cover her theft.
According to court records, Woodley's guilty plea includes these felonies: two counts of first-degree theft and one count of fraudulent practices. The state in return will recommend fines, restitution, and five years probation. A sentencing hearing is set for July 20th, no word on the restitution that'll be expected.
